I believe the correct spelling is J-A-C-K D-A-N-I-E-L-S.

Therein lies the problem. So many whiski(e)s and so little time,
The Irishmen at Bushmills spell it with an "e". The Scots at Highland Park apparently felt no need for the "e" and left it out (there is a post on this board from someone who felt that way about his 924's balance shaft). While crossing the Atlantic someone must have found that lost "e" because Americans from Kentucky put the silly thing back in. The Canadians dropped it again, and the folks in Tennessee are still confused. Mr Daniel put the "e" back in (maybe it comes from the charcoal) and Mr Dickel left it out.
I think it's time for a word with the bird. (Wild Turkey, that is)
Cheers !
